I just got an iPhone 5S. My Apple pswd works on my iPAD but I can't get iTunes apps to accept the same pswd and download apps to my new iPhone. What's wrong?

I got a new iPhone 5S. Trying to download apps and iTunes won't accept my password. The password works on my iPAD for installing apps so I know it's right.

Has anyone resolved this problem successfully?

iPhone 5s, iOS 7

Hey there xntricj,


It sounds like you are putting a password for your Apple ID that works without issue on your iPad into your iPhone but get a message saying that the password is incorrect. I recommend the steps from the article named:

iCloud: "Incorrect Apple ID or Password" alert when setting up iCloud after upgrading to iOS 7

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5207

  1. After completing iOS 7 setup, go to Settings > iCloud.
  2. Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then enter your previous Apple ID and password.
  3. If your Apple ID or password are not accepted, follow the steps in iOS 7: If you're asked for your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

All the very best,

Sterling
